This year has become my "YEAR of GIVING." I really wanted to do something to give back. So this year I photographed 12 Eligible Ladies in 12 months and created a 2010 Galleria Vivid's Most Eligible calendar!

I was truly honored to meet and get to know ALL of these fantastic women involved in the project!!!! This calendar is not only about helping mothers from New Beginnings, but it is also celebrating women.

All proceeds go to New Beginnings, a home for mothers www.homeformothers.comThis is a very small charity that needs our help. They provide a home for single mothers who are in need of a home and guidance. New Beginnings also stays in contact with these women after they have left the home.

Yesterday, I photographed baby Nicolas! Sandra and Lou found out about me through my ESPN promotion and they were able to take advantage of the offer!!! Lou is a director and Sandra works in promotions at ESPN. They also have a daughter Camila, who is cute as a button!!!! Sandra and Lou, it was an honor to be able to photograph you and your beautiful family!!!

This week I had the pleasure of photographing baby Liam! He is the nephew of one of my bride's for next year!!! Aimee(the auntee) gave this session to Emilie as a gift!! To see his Auntee go to Aimee and Richard's engagement session! Liam is such a handsome little man, and really did well with all of the pictures taking, it can be overwhelming at such a young age, but he rocked it. What a Heartbreaker!!! Emilie and a Lance, I had a blast while photographing you and your new bundle of joy!!! Congrats!

Ok, so I'm so amazed at the awesome night shots we captured in downtown Hartford for Andrea & Kyle's engagement session! I've gotten to know Andrea really well as of late, because she has been helping with Brevinn ALLOT, and she is GREAT with kids, to say the least she has been a God sent to our family. I have just been so swamped with work and I don't know how I would have gotten through November without her!!! Anyways...back to Andre & Kyle, they met at a bowling class in college...hence the bowling alley pics...which was a blast by the way....a ton of artistic directions can be taken there...I could have shot the whole session there, I had so many ideas! When in Hartford, it progressively became really cold, but Andrea stuck it out and I'm glad she did, like I said, I am so happy with the night scenes we captured!!! YEY!!! Congrats you two and I can't wait for the big day!!!!

These images are a combination of October times in the life of Brevinn!!! I took a few photographs in the leaves in our backyard, because it was just a gorgeous fall day, and above 60 degrees in late October!!! The images in the bath, were something I wanted to capture for a LONG time and finally had the time to to get him in all his glory and birthday suit! The packer outfit was a day we had family pictures taken at Elizabeth Park and I grabbed a few shots of him in his Aaron Rodgers Jersey....I just love football season!!!!

Finally, I am posting pictures from Vinn's 1st birthday, he is now almost 14 months!!! We thank everyone who has played a role in celebrating his birthday!!! We had one party in WI at Greg's mom and dad's and one party in Bristol!! What an amazing year....God bless you my baby, you have brought us so much joy and laughter, I really don't remember my life without you!!!!!
